Knoll- Avio

2016

"I imagined that Avio could move, responding to the user’s wish for convenience and sociability. For this I designed a mechanism that is hidden but at the same time appealing, like the detailing of certain motorbikes, and most importantly very easy to use. Linked to this idea of movement, a large irregular end or corner element has been introduced that slightly alters the pure and precise line of Avio, suggesting a more informal and relaxed atmosphere, a conception of elegance with a touch of idiosyncrasy."
